Giving it may give you satisfaction temporarily but earning it will give them satisfaction for a lifetime.
I payed my entire way through college, and believe me, it has not provided a lifetime of satisfaction. I am thankful I completed my degree, but it was a long winding road to get there. I would have preferred help from my parents. They were in no shape to provide it, but fortunately I am able to assist my kids, and I will.

I am not a fan of students having to have jobs to support themselves while in school. I had many friends in college who were in that position and it always seemed to be a huge strain on them educationally and emotionally.
I totally agree with this, and I include high school with it. I'd rather have my kids active in clubs, sports, etc. during the school year, than working.
